The campsite near the swamp (well a few hours away anyway.) A fire is set and rumbling away.

Bruga helps with the campsite. As to watches, he says Any watch is okay by me. I did such a good job of it last time.

Breaking his silence since the group left the town, Senuviel speaks in sorts of a sombre voice. I take the first watch.

Khorden didn't have much to do to set up camp, set down his pack, lay out his blanket and cloak and set to sleeping.  He starts munching on some dried cheese and stale bread, "I'm good with any watch, though be best for all if I take one when the darkness is deep about us."

Gosric snorts his disapproval at the campsite.  Couldn't we have spent one more night in a real bed?  He doesn't offer to take any watch, but he'll take whichever watch he's pressed to take otherwise, with only a little bit of grumbling.  Otherwise, he will wrap himself in his cloak and try to stay warm, making small talk to pass the time.

"So, anyone brought a good mulled wine?" He snorts at his own 'cleverness' before wiping his too-big nose on his cloak.

  The e lf  nods  to the  others,..I normally like to take the last watch before  we rise...tis your call Khorden...I am boing to take  about  a half hour, see if  i might  bag  us  some fresh food...  the  elf  will take a circuit around the camp, both looking  for game..or  sign's  of trouble...

Clair will help with setting up the camp, setting the fire, helping with cooking food (not the greatest cook but..)making prayers to Lady Lady Luck for the camp placement & Kree,s hunting.  She will volunteer for last or any watch as long as she gets her needed sleep for spells.  she has infravision so not a huge problem with seeing at night.

Oh Gosric, the nice fresh air, wilderness sounds and comfy companions campfire, outdoor camping.  This is the life:)

Luck Kree with your hunting.

Anyone for a game of dice to pass the time?

Bruga says I'll play, and what's more, I'll let you choose the game and make the rules provided I then get to name the stakes, if any.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg #8):

Smiles at Bruga - stakes hhm OK lets see, state your stakes for the game I will choose and I will see if I will be able to play against those stakes with a compatible game ... or not ... Sitting down next to Bruga - Lady luck gives us all some leeway here but it would be advisable to name stakes others can play with to, to make it a fare chance for others to join or not.  she holds a deck of cards and a small bag of dice weighing each in her hand while waiting for Bruga to name some stakes for the game.  There was a hint of a blush at first but was hidden by the smile.

In reply to Clair Brandywhine (msg #7):

Gosric lets out a laugh,

"To each his own.  I'll stick to a warm bed and a glass of port."

He looks over at Clair's bag.  "Stakes, huh?  Might be a way to pass the time?"

In reply to Gosric the Full (msg #10):

Grins, Pull up a log/chair I am waiting on Bruga's stakes to decide the game.

Bruga hesitates and finally says. Never mind...you've already won and I've already lost. It's...I better get some sleep. And he finds a place to lie down and wrap himself up.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg #12):

With a questioned look, then a look of oh I won already, not a fight in you saddened look then grins, oh Bruga, fear not, Lady luck tries her best to make all games so there always is a chance to win. Sighs, another day Bruga you can decide to tell me what you wish to leave chance to and we can game then for it.

Looks to Gosric, smiles, so what game do you fancy, holding her deck of card and dice.  What wager do you like, coin, who cleans up the dishes, position in the marching order or just a friendly game of chance to pass the time away?

Still just around dinner time at this point and the dogs or are the wolves howl nearby. Snare perks up but does not do more.

Gosric jumps up at the sound of wolves.  With a slight tremble in his voice, he answers Clair, "Uh, how about we wager who has to sit watch and keep these beasts from eating us."  Thinking a game might be a good distraction, he points to the dice.

In reply to Gosric the Full (msg #15):

While Smiling at Goseric, Clair looks down and pets Snare, easy my boy then turns back to Goseric, dice it is.  Pulls out the dice, clears a spot then turns to the rest of the group, We may have visitors tonight, best we keep the fire burning hot and keep a few smaller logs rotated half in the fire for throwing/holding at bay our visitors  turns back to Goseric I think they call this craps or something like it.  We will play two out of three for who watches a shift and who sleep the night away smiling hands Goseric the dice, home team throws last

OOC : She will use her gaming skills, naturally, but nothing more - let Lady luck watch us as we play out this game of chance without any divine help.  Let us know what we need to roll for the game to see who wins.
